I've already entered business income (from my rentals and my wife's consulting) and am now entering my W2 information in the Personal section. When I enter the information for box "W - Employer contributions to Health Savings Account" from my employer provided W2 ($2,139.65), it's causing my Federal Refund to go down. Why is this happening? I have a high deductible health care plan, and my understanding is that contributions to my HSA (which I technically made, not my employer, even though the box is labeled as such), are pre-tax and not taxable. Shouldn't my Federal Refund go UP, not down?
